ECO.2:11 - SoTA-Echoing

Hayek, The Use of Knowledge in Society, §§V–VI supplies the historical account of adjusting to a scarcity signal without knowing its complete cause. The pattern adopts that economy of knowledge while requiring the signal to fit the actual exchange.

A detailed market model is the stronger rival when the decision depends on future price formation. For a bounded substitution its extra work can add nothing to the present choice. Neither route assumes that current prices perfectly represent scarcity, power or unpriced effects. Reconsider when the relevant offer, functional substitution or commitment horizon changes.
